The error code reported usually occurs when there is a concern between the Motherboard, the hard drive and the hard drive connector. Either one of these can cause this error to come up. As you said that the computer is working fine now, you can try running the diagnostics again. If there is not error message reported, we are then good to go.

However if there is an error message locate, we will have to reseat the hard drive to ensure that all the connectors are in place. Once done, if the error message comes up again, we will might have to replace the hard drive.

Hope that is helpful.
